BMI’s 15th annual Composer/Director Roundtable and 11th annual Snowball showcase will take place Wednesday, January 23, during the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Entitled “Music & Film: The Creative Process,” the roundtable will begin at 11 a.m. and run until 1 p.m. at the Sundance House. The conversation will be moderated by Doreen Ringer Ross, Vice President, Film/TV Relations. BMI’s roundtable is a cornerstone event at Sundance, focusing on the relationship between composer and director. Participants will discuss what goes into creating a successful film score, the ingredients of an effective composer/director relationship, the Sundance film experience, and more.

The Snowball, also to be held on Wednesday, January 23 at the Sundance House, will include performances by Grammy Award-winners John Paul White of The Civil Wars (who appears in the music documentary “Muscle Shoals”), Terence Blanchard and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Percy Sledge, singer songwriter Dan Penn and keyboardist Spooner Oldham (all of whom appear in the documentary “Muscle Shoals”.) The focus of the 2013 Snowball is to celebrate the documentary “Muscle Shoals,” premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 26.
